Maria Chavez owns a catering company that serves food and beverages at parties and business functions. Chavez's business is seasonal, witha heavy schedule during the summer months and holidays and a lighter schedule at other times. One of the major events Chavez's customers request is a cocktail party. She offers a standard cocktail party and has estimated the cost per guest as follows: $ 18.00 Food and beverages Labor (0.5 hour $9.80 /hr.) Overhead (0.5 hour $18.68/hr.) 4.90 9.34 Total cost per guest S32.24 The standard cocktail party lasts three hours and Chavez hires one worker for every six guests, so that works out to one-half hour of labor per guest. These workers are hired only as needed and are paid only for the hours they actually work When bidding on cocktail parties, Chavez adds a 15% markup to yield a price of about $36 per guest. She is confident about her estimates of the costs of food and beverages and labor but is not as comfortable with the estimate of overhead cost. The $18.68 overhead cost per labor-hour was determined by dividing total overhead expenses for the last 12 months by total labor-hours for the same period. Monthly data concerning overhead costs and labor-hours follow: Overhead Month Labor-Hours 3,700 2,300 2,500 3,700 4,000 5,000 Expenses $ 57,000 61,000 62,000 66,000 69,000 73,000 76 nnn January February March April May June T1 6 nnn Overhead Month Labor-Bours 3,700 2,300 2,500 3,700 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 6,500 4,000 3,600 6,000 Expenses $ 57,000 61,000 62,000 66,000 69,000 73,000 76,000 79,000 77,000 70,000 66,000 74,000 January February March April May June July August September October November December Total 54,300 $830,000 Chavez has received a request to bid on a 180-guest fundraising cocktail party to be given next month by an important local charity. (The party would last the usual three hours.)
